Athletics

Engage, Explore, and Excel at Every Level

All RDS students are welcome to join our Athletic Teams. We embrace a no cuts philosophy, regardless of skill level or previous experience. Our goal is to foster a love for sport, while providing students with skill acquisition and the confidence to try new things. Additionally, RDS students who participate in Athletics practice life skills such as teamwork, problem solving, and conflict resolution. Students learn how to become both a leader and a teammate. 

RDS is a member of both the Small Schools Athletic Federation (SSAF) and Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association (CISAA), and our athletes have a chance to compete in five different sports within a school year. While most teams are open to Grade 3 and up, students can compete as early as Grade 1 in some sports such as Cross Country.
